Tin letter No. 1,1 mxy be seen in ihe Appendix. Il will be seen, by 1 lie afliduvil ol John Moore, thai Moore did at end, but did not bid that, in purauauce to Mulrine's promise, the aix miles were awauled lo liiin, and a bond, dHtud on the day ol the snles, was executed therefor to Moore, by Joint Vonu, K. . n. 11., leaving llie prices tor (tie worg pi aim. On die I lib of April, Mulriiie again wrilea lo Moore, No. 2, App apologining lor not having " torwiirded the boml," and deemed il ndviiuble lo have u personal interview with Moore, bebire lie should regulate the prices.

Accordingly, at the close ol'th'i a ale, the name of this ulliant was readout, as a bidder and contraclor, for the six miles in dm bond, hereto annexed, and marked A; No. 7, of Appeudix, diea;ud Mulriiie claiming thai he hud authority to do jual us he liked with theae cuiitrnct.

Tin letter No. 1,1 mxy be seen in ihe Appendix. Il will be seen, by 1 lie afliduvil ol John Moore, thai Moore did at end, but did not bid that, in purauauce to Mulrine's promise, the aix miles were awauled lo liiin, and a bond, dHtud on the day ol the snles, was executed therefor to Moore, by Joint Vonu, K. . n. 11., leaving llie prices tor (tie worg pi aim.
